About Daley Blind Although Blind is a very small and not very tall player for a central defender, he is able to create a great tandem with Smalling and can incredibly perform defensive roles, as he did when he stopped the powerful no. 9 from Everton (Lukaku). As noticed by the Squawka page, where I read the analysis, Blind compensates for typical defensive deficiencies with intelligence and tactical acumen. Blind neutralizes attackers not with strength and aggression, but with cunning. This tendency has been evident earlier and especially in the Manchester derby and yesterday. Blind is not physically strong, but to his opponents - attackers - he often appears as a top-class defender.
